PRICED FOR QUICK SALE; REDUCED BY $10,000!! This is a beautiful
1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II standard saloon that has
accumulated 61,800 miles from new and benefitted from an older
restoration. This factory LHD Rolls was ordered new with all the
right options, including air conditioning. Mechanically, this very
low mileage Rolls is very strong, and the color combination is as
elegant as it is stunning. It does have some rust in the common
areas, which makes this Silver Cloud more affordable while
delivering the same amount of enjoyment. LSPA208 was ordered from
the factory by Rolls-Royce of Canada on August 25th, 1959, as a
special order for Mr. George H Cloakey, Jr. of Calgary, Canada. Mr.
Cloakey was the President of Britalta Oils and Chairman of the
Calgary General Hospital. This Rolls was ordered with a very long
list of optional items including power steering, factory air
conditioning, tinted Sundym glass, white wall tires, power windows,
a special horn and a larger brake pedal. It was ordered in Shell
Gray (Paint Code M901-2582) with a single Deep Red pinstripe and
Red Leather (Trim Code VM3086) with maroon carpeting (Trim Code
105). By 1985, the Rolls had been acquired by PT Erling-Tyrell of
Tacoma, WA. The paint had by then received its present color scheme
of Shell Gray over Claret metallic. By 1989, Mr. Charles McKay of
Tacoma, WA had acquired the Rolls and enjoyed it until at least
1992. By then, its beautiful restoration had been completed and the
total mileage was recorded as 58,000 from new. The livery is
spectacular in its Shell Gray over Claret Metallic and is
complimented by beautifully finished chrome and stainless steel.
The paint has gorgeous shine and luster with very few touched up
areas in high use areas. There is some bubbling in the rear fender
dog legs and behind the rear wheels. These are only noticeable upon
very close inspection. The wheel covers are beautifully polished
and have the Claret trim ring and have a set of five new wide white
walled tires. The chrome is in overall very nice condition with no
pitting or rust, but the bumper overriders have small dings.
Overall, this Silver Cloud makes a very impressive statement and is
simply stunning in person. The interior is in beautiful condition
with all the correct materials having been used in its restoration.
The Red Leather is soft and supple and in very nice condition. The
Maroon carpeting is also in very nice condition and the Maroon
mouton sheepskin overlays are as new and are in the front and rear
passenger areas. The wood was beautifully refinished and in very
nice condition today. The gorgeous burl walnut is in excellent
condition with terrific gloss. Most of the wood appears freshly
refinished. The rear passenger compartment has the picnic tables
and side vanities one expects from a Silver Cloud. All of the
gauges work well with the exception of the clock. The radio has
been upgraded to a later Blaupunkt AM/FM Cassette unit. Overall,
the interior is in fantastic condition. The engine compartment has
been recently detailed and looks very nice. The venerable
6.23-liter V8 proved to be the longest produced V8 in automobile
history. It has proven to be very robust, powerful and smooth. The
Rolls has been fully serviced including tune up, hoses and fluid
changes, replacement of the brake hoses, wheel cylinders and fluid,
air conditioning recharge and service and a new set of wide white
walled tires. The Rolls starts easily warm or cold and is
comfortable to drive even with the air conditioning on and in our
100 degrees plus F temperatures. Even in 100-degree temperatures,
the oil pressure and operating temperatures were excellent, which
one would expect from a well maintained 61,000-mile Silver Cloud.
The original factory rear mounted air conditioning has been
converted to 134a refrigerant and worked very well. LSPA208 comes
complete with several of the large tools, the spare with a new tire
and a new battery. The Rolls comes complete with the factory build
sheets, historical documents, an Owners Handbook and a full sales
brochure for the Silver Cloud II. We have this Silver Cloud II
priced well and fairly, making appropriate adjustments for its
condition and air conditioning. The Hagerty No. 2 Value is $72,270
and the No. 3 Value is $53,900. See the Hagerty Guide here: 1962
